Well, it’s been a while since I’ve written one of these posts, mostly because I haven’t had enough time to be exploring the needlework internet! I still don’t have time, but a few notable things have crossed my path, so I wanted to share them with you.<\/p>\n

\"Art<\/a>
\nFirstly, one of my most popular posts on Facebook of recent time has been a link to an upcoming exhibition of costumes. If you’re anywhere near the University of Washington (I won’t be! \ud83d\ude41 ) from 11th-15th November, make sure you get along to see Art of the Costume: The Susan Pasco Collection<\/a>. The exhibition will feature the work of Susan Pasco, a Seattle-based artist, and there will be forty historically accurate garments on display. That’s quite a dress, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Continuing on with my theme of embroidery on clothing, I saw a beautiful photo of Romanian children in embroidered shirts and skirts<\/a>. The photo is from 1934, and was posted on Facebook by The Romanian Blouse Collection.<\/p>\n

Now this, I still can’t believe: one of the panels of the Great Tapestry of Scotland<\/a> has been stolen from Kirkcaldy Galleries in Scotland. Appeals are being made for its return. Any information of its whereabouts should be reported to Police Scotland.<\/p>\n

For those who have *hours* to spend, there’s a treasure trove known as the Antique Pattern Library<\/a>. That’ll keep you off the streets for a few hours! Because the works are all very old, they are out of copyright and therefore can be distributed without penalty.<\/p>\n

And finally, a video of a precious old tapestry being washed at Hampton Court, in England. Quite a fascinating process. If you receive this as an email, you can see the video here<\/a> on YouTube.
